I’m just shocked any publisher is still doing QA at all, with the state AAA games release in these days.

How long have you used the internet?
as long as I’ve been old enough to be on it, I suppose. I couldn’t give you an exact date, but not as long as you’ve had access to it since I’m not much older than 32.

totally unrelated to your comment, but did you know you can still buy bullets in bulk? nothing to do with the conversation at hand, of course, just idle chatter.

I don’t really see the inevitable passing of this internet as a sad thing, really. each time the internet has died, it has been replaced by something a little better. with how bad this one has gotten, with a whole laundry list of enshitification from constant tracking to intrusive and malicious advertisements, I think it’s far past time for the internet to die again and give us something fresh.

nonsense, that your cat was missed by millions of drivers every day that drive down your streets, to think it would be hit by a human boggles the mind. and you don’t even seem to be broken up about the slaughter!

The internet, in its various forms, has died several times now, and it will die and be replaced with something else probably uncountable times in the future.

Proton’s CEO does not support trump. And they didn’t help the French police, they were obligated to follow a legal order to turn over data to their own government.
Those are both gross misrepresentations of the truth, and you know good and well how dishonest you’re being. And before you get angry, I’m not writing this for you, I’m writing it for the people who don’t know that you’re knowingly spreading misinformation.

cats, the animal most notorious for being contrary and doing dangerous things often enough that they were given the mythos of having"nine lives”, never dart under quiet electric moving vehicles?

the AI in cars is not the same as the AI in LLMs, it’s not programmed to guess its way to a conclusion.
that being said, it’s still far from perfect, and shouldn’t be on the road yet.

I sure as hell won when you lost it after I criticized the US. As someone on Matrix just said while reading what you wrote, you are “NOT making it out of 5th grade with ts”. pretty funny that somebody makes a spot on observation about your country, and it flips your brain off because you can’t handle your patriotism being hurt.
idk why you’re using words like bootlicker, when it’s obvious your a liberal who deepthroats boot while listening to the star spangled banner. I bet in your head you think you’re a leftist, huh? fucking adorable, is what you are.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Sorry that you hate people from the US.
I’m American. I’m more qualified than anyone to say that the US is a shitty country. by no metric is the US better than any other country. unless you’re counting number of gun deaths per year, or incarcerated people, or number of people who think angels are real. you know, it’s funny. you called me a bootlicker, but here you are, stanning your country and being a good little patriotic soldier. and you’re telling other people they’ve been duped? your own government doesn’t give a shit about you.
and now that I’ve picked apart your argument, time and time again, the best you can do is resort to calling me racist. lol. lmao even.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, etc have all refused court orders and no one went to prison.
those are all incredibly rich corporations in a nation where immunity from crimes can be bought by donations to the right republican and democrat politicians. a nation where people who smoke weed can go to jail for life, but the bankers who knowingly broke the law and caused the 2008 financial crash can get away with no repercussions. the absolute gall you have to compare the rest of the world to the shittiest third world country cosplaying as a first world one is staggering. this may come as a shock to you, but not everywhere is as corrupt and dysfunctional as the US.
I almost feel bad for you at this point.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Listen, you are just wrong at this point and you keep digging yourself deeper looking more and more ridiculous.
says the one saying Proton should fuck themselves over to earn the goodwill of some random person on the internet with more idealism and ego than sense.
your relentless fanboyism gets old quick.
then I suppose it’s a good thing I don’t base my self worth on what you think of me, isn’t it? if you don’t like what I’m saying, too bad. I’m going to keep pointing out your irrational nonsense, and your choices are pretty limited at stopping me from doing that, aren’t they? you can give up and walk away, or block me, but either way, the person walking away from this with their tail between their legs is you. the only question you need to be asking is how much pie do you want on your face before that happens.

it doesn’t matter if they intend on leaving the country, until they do they still have to fulfill any legal orders they get. they can’t get an order, then decide they won’t comply, and just leave the country. it would make them fugitives, wanted in any countries that have extradition treaties with their government. you’re not an idiot, even if you’re pretending to be in the hopes that I won’t point out the obvious stupidity in your argument. so why don’t you do us both a favor and stop doing your best impression.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
yeah, I totally believe you would go to prison for a random person. in fact, all of us are stupid enough to believe that bullshit. so noble. so principled. a true paragon.

You can’t criticize software for being too hard for “baseline human beings” when your baseline is apparently boomers who lived most of their lives before the internet was widely available.

How do you even get a non-company-hosted server now?
they typed out on their computer capable of hosting anything they want
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
The “baseline human being” can easily set up most of those.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
A big problem is people see the word “privacy” and think that means anonymous. Neither Tuta nor Proton claim to be anonymous.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
I don’t think you’re stupid either, so I don’t get what’s not getting through.
You’re being dishonest, is what’s not getting through.
Mullvad doesn’t log because their product is built from the ground up to not be capable of connecting users to their activity. Email was invented before true anonymity on the internet was even a concept. To date, nobody has developed an email solution that is incapable of logging its users when forced to by the government. Both companies have a no log policy, and both follow that policy, insofar as it isn’t breached by force by a legal order from their government. If Mullvad had a system where that was possible, they would have given up that information when they were raided, because they would have had no fucking choice. But like Proton, their VPN is incapable of logging access.
Comparing email to a VPN is about as dishonest and bad faith as anyone can get. Email was never intended to be anonymous, and VPNs were. You know this, which is why you compared Proton’s email to Mullvad’s VPN. If you had compared the two VPNs from both companies, your argument would have immediately fallen apart because neither are capable of logging users without completely rewriting the entire system from the ground up. Your argument is no different than comparing a hippo to a bird, then complaining because the hippo can’t fly.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
No, I’m saying that you’re comparing email to a VPN. You’re not stupid, you know it’s a bad comparison, which is why you didn’t compare Mullvad to ProtonVPN, because you know your argument would fall apart immediately.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Now you’re comparing apples to oranges? Is that what you do when your position is untenable?
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Their service IS private. Their service is not anonymous, and they never claim it is. Privacy does not equal anonymity, and I wish you people would get that through your thick skulls and stop criticizing someone for doing the exact same thing you would do, in their position.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Complying with the law is such a bullshit fucking excuse.
Yeah, they should just go to prison for someone they don’t know and had nothing to do with, that’s the only answer we should be ok with!
Do you hear how stupid that sounds?
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Yup, I noticed that and edited about five seconds before you replied lol
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
The answer is no. They would not refuse a legal order from their own government. And it’s ridiculous people think that.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
Proton never says they won’t comply with orders from the Swiss government. You won’t find that claim anywhere on their website, any more than you’ll find it on Tuta’s website.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
So Tuta would refuse a legal order from the Swiss government?
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 5 days ago:
For profit or FOSS, they can’t ignore the Swiss government. It’s fucking stupid that people put this ridiculous standard on them like they’re able to just tell the Swiss no and face no consequences.
If you were in their position, you would roll over too, and if you claim otherwise you’re just straight up lying.
